HR DIRECTOR | HIGH-GROWTH CONSUMER BUSINESS | LONDON
Up to £100,000 + package + equity
I’m working with a high-growth, founder-led consumer business at an exciting stage of its development.
With ambitious plans for the next few years, they are now looking to appoint a senior People leader who can build the function and help create the organisation needed to support that growth.
This is not a traditional HR Director role.
You’ll be joining a relatively lean, entrepreneurial business where there is genuine scope to build, shape and influence.
The opportunity
- Build and own the People function end-to-end
- Partner closely with the Founder and senior leadership team
- Shape organisational design as the business grows
- Lead hiring across leadership, central and operational teams
- Introduce pragmatic performance, reward and development frameworks
- Help define culture, standards and ways of working
- Build the infrastructure needed to support significant headcount growth
- Remain hands-on and comfortable moving between strategic and operational priorities
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re particularly interested in people who:
- Have built or significantly evolved a People function within a growing consumer, retail, hospitality or multi-site business
- Have operated successfully in founder-led or entrepreneurial environments
- Are comfortable with pace, change and ambiguity
- Can combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
- Understand the commercial impact of hiring, retention, performance and organisational design
- Enjoy building rather than inheriting established structures
- Bring energy, judgement and a strong sense of ownership
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This probably won’t suit someone looking for a large existing HR team, significant infrastructure or a highly defined corporate environment.
Package
- £75,000–£100,000 base
- Additional package
- Equity opportunity
- London / hybrid
This appointment forms part of a broader investment in the senior leadership team and represents an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the next stage of the business.
If you’ve helped build the People function behind a scaling business and would be interested in hearing more, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
